Swamp Head Brewery is releasing nine new draft and three new canned beers on October 25th

Swamp Head Brewery, Gainesville’s first craft brewery, has filled a plethora of cans lately.  First, the brewery released four new canned beers last week, and now Swamp Head has promised twelve new beers for their Adult Trick-or-Treating event on October 25th.

From Swamp Head Brewery:

Every year around this time we gather at the brewery to do some adult-style trick-or-treating. Except our treats aren’t candy, our treats are candy-inspired beers, dreamt up by our brewers and available only for one very spooky night.
This year we’re taking you on a little trip back to Hawkins, Indiana, 1983. Travel around the brewery, trying candy beers at all four themed pouring stations. There might even be a surprise for those of you who manage to trick-or-treat at every pouring station! (See glassware details below).
